Hi Tom

Just to echo the above comments from our learned colleague Monsieur Whatsa.

We have been agreeing to agree that the nicest DRIVERS car of the whole GENUINE Cobra production run was the AC289 MkIII of Thames Ditton fame, that only 2 Americans were clued up enough to place an order for prior to their going extinct in 1968. The combination of the body style, with the narrower rear bodywork and a 4.7 litre lump was just right and, in my view, the model that might find fresh acceptance in the UK and Europe. But, to confirm the comment above, it needs a company of your ability to re-create it properly. ( Tho I recall making these observations during our chat in Essen just over 12 months ago!)

In my opinion, of course, the FIA model is just as desirable and your MkII threatens to be just wonderful as well. Maybe you have that market covered already. Bring on the new stuff.....??
